With a united front and the strength of the ancient teachings coursing through their veins, they stand ready to face the embodiment of the past's ambitions.

The monks must stand united, drawing upon the teachings of the Jeskai Ascendancy and Monastery Mentor's leadership to face this formidable foe and protect the sanctity of their mountain home.

Will they emerge victorious, preserving the sanctity of the mountains and sending the Spirit of the Conqueror back to the annals of history?

As the Spirit of the Conqueror faces the community's new tactic of Insane Duress, the battlefield echoes with uncertainty and tension. The sinister sorcery unravels the secrets hidden within the hands of the community and the foe. It puts the cunning strategy of the Spirit to the test, forcing it to reveal its most potent creatures and spells, while the community gambles on the power of its own cards.
The ancient conqueror, now locked in an intense mind duel with the community, chooses the most powerful spell, keenly aware of the potential devastation it can unleash. With a cruel grin, it discards the spell, unleashing its chaotic energy into the air.
As the Spirit of the Conqueror surveys the battlefield, it reveals its most fearsome creature—a monstrosity born from the realm of spirits and shadows. But the cunning community members have anticipated this, and their unity shines through, with each member choosing the same strong creature to remove from their hands.
Yet, the Conqueror still has tricks up its ethereal sleeve. The cards not chosen by the community are hurled back at them with malice, and with each card that slips from their grasp, the Spirit saps their strength. The battle hangs in the balance as the community pays a heavy price for their gamble, losing precious life force in the process.
The Jeskai Mountains tremble under the weight of this magical clash as both sides fight for dominance. The Spirit of the Conqueror, though weakened, stands defiant, ready to retaliate and overcome the community's resilience. As the battle rages on, it remains unclear who will emerge as the true conqueror of this mystical battleground.

In their place, a host of majestic white Angels take flight, emerging from the remains of the once-mighty forces.
As the next end step approaches, all on the battlefield brace for the Spirit's ultimate display of conquest. The Spirit of the Conqueror, standing amidst the graceful Angels, smiles with an air of triumph, ready to deal the final blow and seize control of the Jeskai Mountains. The community, now facing the brink of defeat, musters their strength, knowing that their unity and wits will be the key to survival. The fate of the mountains hangs in the balance as the Spirit's Ephemeral Mastery reaches its climactic conclusion.

Unleash the Storm by jpastor | MTG Cardsmith
The Spirit of the Conqueror, undeterred by the community's resilience, channels the raw elemental power of the Jeskai Mountains into a torrential storm of destructive energy. The skies darken as bolts of lightning and gales of wind swirl around the battlefield. The Spirit directs the devastating force at the community's strongest forces, aiming to crush their remaining defenses.
The Spirit of the Conqueror's malevolent presence fuels the very essence of the fallen.
